PULPIT ELOQUENCE. In the life of John Plavel, a renowned dis senting preacher of England, it is said,.“ope of those omens, -which are supposed to an nounce future eminence, accompanied his birth. A pair of nightingales made their nest close to the window of (he chamber of his mother, and, with their delicious notes sang the birth of him whose longue sweetly proclaimed the glitd tidings which gave songs in the night." ( cannot assert that the ora torical distinction of John C. Burriss was pre ceded by any such incident, but it has seldom been my fortune to hear a more mellifluous and seductive speaker. Jn very early life,'a student iu Washington city, I heard the fa mous Summeriield, a young Methodist itiner ant. His face and form were of womanly, almost of angelic beauty. A divine lustre beamed from his etes. His clear, full, sonor ous voice fell like the tones of a mountain bell iitte moment, and anon, came crashing, thundering down, with terrible effect on the startled masses, forcing them to cry aloud and crowd together, with uplifted arms, as though for shelter from an impending ava lanche. His eloquence shook sin from its citadels, and dragged vice sod fashion from their "pride of place." The sensation he produced was itemenjous. MuliiimW fat. lowed his (botsleps. Asa field preacher, he lowered alongside of IV hilt-field ; bullies oon went down to ihe grave, consumed by his own fire, and was colled to a higher sphere (or some inscrulible purpose. It is related of Bossuet, that when lie pro. n<nmced the funeral sermon of the Princess Henrietta, and described her dying agonies, the whole audience arose from their seals, with terror in every countenance. When Masgilon ascended Ihe pulpit, on the death of Louis XIV., he contemplated for a moment, the impressive spectacle—the chapel draped in black—the magnificent mausoleum raised over Ihe bier —the dim but vast apartment filled with the trophies of the glory of the monarch,-anA with the most- illustrious per sons m (he kingdom. He looked down on Ihe gorgeous scene “beneath, then raised‘his arms lb heaken’, and said, -in a solemrt, sub duedlone, u Me» frerea Diue seul eat grand. l " “God only With one impulsp all the audience- arose Utroed to the altdf, and reverently bowed. When Dr. Hussey preached at Waterford, on the small number of-the elect, he asked whether, if the arch of heaven were to open, and (he Son of Man should appear to judge his hearers, it were “quite ■wrinin that-three —that two-nay, trembling for myself os well ns for you—ls ii cerlain-lhal one of us”—he exclaimed in tones of thunder—“would be saved 7" During the whole of ibis apostro phe the audience was agonized. At the ulti mate interrogation there Wai a general,shriek, and some foil to rhe ground, M. Bridaine, e ■ French missionary, and the peer of the moat) renowned orators of thafdloqaent nation, preached a sermon in Bagnole. At- the end; of it, he llfled tip his arms end thrice oried'in a loud voice, "O; E’ernity I" At the third repitition of this awful cry, the whole party fell on their knees. During three days, <Am sternation'pervaded the town. In the : public places, young and old were beard crying, “Mercy! O, Lord, Mercy !” Thr progress made by'the Italians in 'Ag riculture is astonishing.

When parted they each claimed the victo ry, and finally demanded, with gj'eal gravi ty, ip be replaced exactly as they were when asperated, Dupont promising to) refix his sword through Fournier’s throat without in creasing the wound.

As a mediunl by which lime and dis. tance are almost annihilated it is open to all; and he or, they who cannot await the mail’s delay nor still afford to make a journey, have through it a prompt and always reliable-means of intercommunication. Perhaps the most novel use to which the telegraph has been pul is that which has come under our notice and whicfi is as follows : Some months since a young gentleman of this city entered the Morste Telegraph office and requested lobe instruc ted in such of the mysteries of telegraphery as the operators could or would inform him —such ns would not interfere with the secrets of the office. The obliging operator procee ded to do so, and In lire course of bis instruc tions explained to the Freshman the modus operandi of writing. It should be known that at one of Ihe stations west of Ibis city, in quite a small hut enterprising .village, a fe male—the school-mistress of the village—is the operator at the telegraph station. While the operator in (his city was going through his explanations, the—office called Albany, ■ and made a business inquiry, to which an an swer was returned by the Albany operator, who, in a professional manner, inquired the name of the anxious inquirer, and sent it, with the gentleman’s compliments, to the— office, (which the female had charge of.) — Miss C ,we mean the operator, replied, returning her compliments, and gave the state of ihe weather, &c., at . The gentle man was “immensely" delighted with the idea pf interrogating a person, and that person a ' female, one hundred 1 and fifty miles distant, and through the kindness of the operator ad dressed several interrogatories to her, all of which were answered in a most gratifying’ manner. The novice in telegraphing was de lighted, not to say enchanted. He called again the next day, and persuaded the oper ator, to oga i resummon jhe——-office.. _Arwio du.i— onpiy j most delightful tele a-tele— think of a tele a-tete one hundred and fifty mile removed ' —--v ilh hiv ehn/mim, inenortita. or we should say inomorat, for the novice was all absorbed in Wiss.C , as the se quel will prove. For several days did he call and hold conversation with the office and its very obliging operator, each day becoming more and more interested. The subject of discourse, 100, was materially changed; inso much that the Albany operator began to- feel in rather a “peculiar predicament’’—he being a sort of o medium through which two lovers were holding communication. To be brief, the novice continued to call for a space of two weeks, each day growing more interested, until at last he put the question direct ond plumb: “Will you marry me!” The tele graph never hesitates; itjs a fast institution, and those who are'connected with it become “fnst,” as if'by -imbibition. The lady con sented, and the novice, a few days after, went ■ lOi claimedhis bride and was married. The parties are now residents of this city. Albany Argus. GETTING MARRIED.

'■ In Ihe way: of dentistry, Dr. Tuskmaker, the iniimale fried of John Phoenix, of the Pi on’epr Magaiine, goerabead of all competi tors. Nothing appalled him, and he was as ready to pull a tooth as largo as a Polyglot Bihfe, as to extract one of a child’sfrOnt teeth. As proof of this, John relates Ihe 'follow. ic ®! : ■ “Dr. Tuskmaker was never regularly bred as a physician, Dr surgeon, but he possessed nnftirally a strong meohaica) genius and a find appetite ; and finding his teeth oft great seryico jn gratifying, the Tatter propensity, he 'concluded that ho qou)d,do more good in the world, and create more happiness therein, by putting the teeth of his inhabitants in good working order, than in any other way ; so Tuskmaker became a dentist. He was the map that first invented the method ol placing cog-wheels in the back teeth for the more perfect mastication of food, and he claimed to be Ihe original discoverer of that method of filling cavities with a kind of putty, which, becoming hard directly, causes the tooth to ache so grievously that it has to be pulled, thereby giving the dentist two successive fees for 1 the same job. Tuskmaker «ns ono day seated in his of fice, in the city of Boston, Moss., when a stout old fellow named Bytes, presented himself to have a tooth drawn. The dentist sealed his patient-in the chair of torture, and opening his mouth, discovered there an enormous tooth, on the right hand side, about as large, as he afterwards expressed it, “as a small Polyglot Bible! ’ I shall have trouble with this tooth, thought Tuskmaker, but be chip ped on his heaviest forceps and pulled. 1' didn’t come. Then he tried the lurnscrew, exerting his utmost strength, but the tooth wouldn’t stir.” “Go away from here," cried Tuskmaker to Byleg, “ond return in a week, and I'll drdw that tooth fur you, or know the reason whv.” Byles got up, clapped a handkerchief (o his jaw, and put forth. Then the dentist went (o work, and in three days he invented an in strument which he was confident would pull anythlhjf. It was n combination of the lever, pu|ley, wheel nod axle, inclined plane, wedge and screw. The castings were made, and the machine pul up in the office, over an iron chair, rendered perfectly stationary by iron rods going down into the foundation of the building, in a week old Byles returned ; he the iron chair, the forceps connected with'the machine attached firmly to the tooth, and Tuskmnker, stationing himself »r» t hn ran r. J.w1.1 ./* -l~- - i"~~- . frr length. He turned it slightly. Old Byles gave a groan and lifted bis right leg. An other turn; another groan, and op went the leg again. —* “What do you raise your leg for asked ibe doctor. ‘‘l can’t help it,” said the patient, "Wod/’ replied Tuskmaker, “that tooth is bound to come now.” He turned tho lever clear round, with a sudden jerk, and snapped old By le’s head olea r and clean from his shoulders, (caving a apace of four inches between the severed parts I They had a post mortem examination—the roots of the tooth were found extending down (he right side, through the right leg, and turn ing up in two prongs under the sole of the right foot 1 “No wonder,” said Tuskmaker/'be raised his right leg.” The jury thought so too, but they found the roots much decayed, and five surgeons swearing that mortification would have ensu ed in a few months, Tusk maker was cleared on a verdict of “justifiable homicide.’’. He was a lifile shy of that instrument for some time afterward; but one day an old lady, feeble and flaccid, came to have a tooth drawn, and thinking i)-would come pul very easy, Tuskmasker concluded, just by way of varie ty, to try the machine. He did .so, and,at the first lorn drew tho old lady's skeleton completely and entirely from her body, leav ing hern mass of quivering jelly in her chair-. Tusk maker took .her home ins pillow-case. She lived seven years after that, and they called her the “India Rubber Woman.” She had suffered terribly with (he rheumatism, but after this occurrence, she never had a pain in her bones !• The-dentist kept them in a glass case. After (his, the machine was sold to the contractor ofthe Boston Custom House, and it urns found that a child three years of age could, by aaingle turn of the screw, raise a stone weighing twtenty-lhrbe tons. Smaller odes were made, on (he same principle, and sold to the'keepers of hotels and reslurnnls. They were used for boning turkeVs. There is no moral to this story whatever, and it is possible that the circumstances may have become ilighlly exaggerated. Of course, there can be no doubt of the truth of the majn incidents. -A ' The New idETAt, kivmmvti.~ lt, is s(a.- led that the French Academy, of. Spiertpe will probably eoonannoonce the.success of one of its members in producingilhu new metal, al uminium, in abundance, and nl a very low price. HiiberlOt Sbecosl, $BO a pound, ren dered it very nearly useless, in spite- of its mbny and- admirable qualities; Mr. Dbvjm.* is said to have discovered a -means of produ cing it for a pound. It is light like glass; white and brilliant like'silica; inoxidoble like' gold j malleable like copper, as easily moulded as iead/a’s tenacious as iron,as abundant ss clay, and the Academy hopes soon to be’ as chiap ns dirt. It will be wise to wait for the cohhnriauoo of this intelligence; inwbrch, however, there is nothing impossible. m x SCUlUffft. DENTISTRY. MINIE BULLET.

Hitherto they have been invariably cast in molds in the same minnet that the common bullet is cast, by .which process it is' impossible to make tolls of equal weight or 'free from Imperfections, which faults, as they exist 'in a greater or less degree, affect the accuracy of the rifle. By the machine tc which I call your atten tion bullets of'atly size are made, and they ore free from all air-blubbers and other im perfections, and have the further merit of be ing exact in weight. The machine is com prised within a space of a foot square, and weighs about 65 pounds, There are no springs or cogs in’ it and there is very iliii’e, liability of its gelling out of order. The bare of lead, rolled to a proper thickness, are fed into a hopper and run under a d s e which ‘swedges’ out the bullet, and at the same in slant the cavity is pressed into the base ; the bullet is discharged from the die, which again receives the bar and repeats the process.—■ ■ The machine thus makes two bullets a sec ond, or 120 a minute, and is capable of even faster work. It requires little attention ex cept to keep the hopper supplied with lead.— 'lt can be worked by sieam-power or hand, “The inventor of (his machine is a young mechanic named William A. Sweet, of the firm of Malcolm and Sweet, manufacturers of Minie Rifles in this City. Mr. S, is also the inventor of a breach-loading Rifle, which has been received with great favor, and ia under consideration by the military authori ties at Washington. He has now in hand a repealing pistol, which is to be of convenient size, and capable of discharging t,wenty limes without reloading. ‘ ' “In the United States service the Minie ball is cos! in the ordinary way of making bullets. A number of unsuccessful attempts have been made to improve in this slow and unsatisfac tory process, A machine by which the round ball is 'swedged’ out is in use in Ihe service, but it differs entirely from the one 1 have de scribed, I have forwarded to you by express several specimens of the bullets mode by Mr, Sweet's machine," n • * UMi Wavs of Committing , Suicide.—Wear ing thin shoes on damp nights in rainy weather. Building on the "air tight” principle, leading a life of enfeebling, stupid lazi ness, and keeping the mind in a round of un natural excitement by reading trashy novels.

The House of Framcun tn Paris.—The hotel which Dr; Franklin occupied during his mission at the Court of Louis XVI., remains siill in existence, although it has undergone' many changes and alterations since ihe day when within its walls our Minister to France pondered over the critical position of Ameri can affairs, and matured those wise plans which resulted in securing to America the alliance of the French, and ensuring and has- 1 tening her ultimate independence. The build ing is siiuathd in Pussy, one of the suburbs on the western side of the city, and is now' occupied as a Calholic school 1 for boys. Thd greater part of the bouse has been rebuilt and remodeled lb accommodate the wants of the school, which numbers more than si* hundred phpils. The first 'lightning rod which was ever erected in France, and wns plhced opon this house by Franklin himself, is still shown to visitors, and is very similar in appearance to those now in use. In a rear apartment of the building is preserved all the wobd work of Franklin’s grand salobn, Doors, panels and window frame? in considerable number show 1 , that the saloon mast have"been of large df" mansions, and the elaborate wbod carvings and profusion of gilding indicate that it was sumptuously adorned. 1 ; "Tost, ! hear you have stolen one of ray turkeys."
